It was exceedingly strange to drive the beach on Easter Sunday and see nothing but seagulls. The high spring tides pushed higher by northeast winds have covered Island beaches during high-tide this week. Closed-toed shoes are in Around The Island these days as the manicure shops are closed and we’re getting some choppy-looking haircuts popping up as shaggy- haired Islanders break out the hedge clippers for a self-trim. But if those are the worst problems we face in these uncertain times we will be fine.

Everyone agreed it was/is a silly and wildly inefficient system but attempts over the years to rejigger it have all failed. The city has even been working to build a maintenance barn behind the fire station on Commodores to give crews access to the beach on both sides of the channel. But word came this week that a tentative agreement has been reached to give the city responsibility for Jackson Billings was happy to find maintaining the beach north of the cash in his egg.

The plan has been approved by the county and is now headed to the city council for a final vote. It looks like a long-needed solution may be at hand.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2018 - 2019 TEAM EDITION NEW ORLEANS SAINTS NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Team History The National Football League awarded its 16th franchise to New Orleans on November 1, 1966. Appropriately, it was All Saints Day. In mid-December, 28-year-old John W. Mecom Jr., a successful Texas and Louisiana businessman, became the majority stockholder. Less than a month later on January 9, 1967, no one was surprised when the team was named the “Saints.” On March 8, the Saints launched their first season-ticket drive that produced 20,000 sales on opening day and 33,400 before the 1967 NFL season began. Eager to create as much pre-season fan enthusiasm as possible in a city not previously exposed to pro football, the Saints obtained three future Pro Football Hall of Famers for their 1967 roster. Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor, a Louisiana State grid hero, came from Green Bay and defensive end Doug Atkins came in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The Saints literally took “The City That Care Forgot” by storm. They won five of their six preseason games and opened the regular season on Sept. 17, 1967 against the Los Angeles Rams before a packed house of 80,879 in Tulane Stadium. New Orleans fans will always remember John Gilliam’s 94-yard touchdown return with the opening kickoff even though the Rams eventually won 27-13. A final game victory over the Washington Redskins allowed the Saints to match the 3-11 first-year record attained by Minnesota in 1961 and Atlanta in 1966.

  • The Pioneers
    Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments is the most extensive and comprehensive exhibit featuring America’smost popular sport ever to tour. Many of the objects included in the exhibition have never been outside the walls of their home, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The artifacts are representative of the great moments, great players and coaches and milestone moments of the sport over the last 100-plus years. Below is a partial list of the rare and historically significant artifacts that will be presented in Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments. The Pioneers This section looks at the early days of the sport when a very unorganized, rough and tumble game was played in empty lots and other makeshift venues. It captures the moment when the NFL was born, when the rules of the game were created anew on every field and when one player of staggering ability, Red Grange, “barnstormed” across America to drum up fan support for a sport in its infancy. Artifacts featured include: 1892 Allegany Athletic Association accounting ledger – Pro Football’sBirth Certificate This accounting ledger sheet from the 1892 Allegheny Athletic Association documents football’s first case of professionalism. “Pro Football’sBirth Certificate” has never before been displayed outside the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jim Thorpe’sCanton bulldogs Sideline Blanket In 1915 the Canton Bulldogs signed Jim Thorpe to a $250 per game contract. Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, was an exceptional talent and major gate attraction. His outstanding talent enabled Canton to lay claim to unofficial world championships in 1916, 1917 and 1919.
